Re: Nor Cal, So Cal, Fire and smoke!
Gosh. I pulled out the window screens and hosed them off this afternoon, full of brown grit. And the sky might look blue; but I go outside, I start sneezing. Our house cats are sneezing. I resorted to a plain water stop bath yesterday to avoid turning on the fan and bringing in outside air. I shouldn't complain. Some people have lost everything.

There's a lot of smoke in the Owens Valley too, though i believe it's caused by the fires in Sequoia NP.
Locals have advised that they expect the wind direction to change on Thursday in time for the snow on Friday.

The air quality over a wide swath of the northern sierra has really deteriorated: PM2.5 readings are in the upper 180's for Bridgeport, Bodie, Lee Vining, Mammoth Lakes, Yosemite Valley, Modesto. They begin to ease towards Bishop on the east side and Fresno in the west. Here in the bay things went downhill yesterday but are a little better today.
